Screen Daily

County Lines is a powerful and moving coming-of-age film about a 14-year-old boy who is groomed into a ‘county lines’ criminal network.

Inspired by the stories he heard while mentoring young people at an east London pupil referral unit, writer-director Henry Blake’s powerful feature debut boasts a compelling central performance by Conrad Khan (nominated for the EE Rising Star BAFTA 2021) as 14-year-old Tyler, with strong supporting performances from Ashley Madekwe (nominated for Best Supporting actress BAFTA 2021) and Harris Dickinson.
